I am not able to reproduce this situation today. I didn't mess with config yesterday or today but I am sure that such situation took place yesterday. Do you know possible steps could lead me the situation that I am absolutely sure has happened yestarday? I am sorry for that. Feel stupid now ... :( But I forgot about a different issue that became so normal to me that I do this without even thinking about it. Before I am able to record any sound with arecord I need to go to alsamixer and press space in Capture control so that L R Capture show up. It can be set to 0 but I don't do this I can't use my mic. I can do the same by running aumix and moving IGain control. I see how L R Capture appears in alsamixer when I have these 2 mixers opened next to each other.
